The prince is shameless

Outside the palace gate was Fei Qing who had been waiting for a long time.

"Wen Xing, you're here!" Fei Qing waved to Wen Xing happily, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, how do you feel? The Crown Prince didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Wen Xing shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, no. Let's go back home."

"That's good." Fei Qing grinned and walked side by side with Wen Xing.

Just yesterday, Fei Qingfei said that it was getting late and the streets were deserted, and worried that he would be scared if he went back alone, and wanted to come over and wait for him to go back together.

Wen Xingzhi was Fei Qing's kind heart, and couldn't bear to refuse, so he let him go.

During non-major festivals, how bustling Zhang'an City is in the daytime, and how deserted it is near nightfall, even if they were walking together, they couldn't help speeding up their pace.

"Ugh..."

Just as the two passed by a small alley, they suddenly heard a low sob.

"Is someone's child crying somewhere?"

Fei Qing stopped and looked around.

Wen Xing also frowned slightly, looking for the source of the crying, and found that it was a little girl huddled in an alley.

The girl was dressed in tatters and her hair was disheveled. She was many times more embarrassed than Xie Yi's immature disguise.

Wen Xing lowered his voice and asked softly, "Little girl, why are you crying here by yourself?"

When the little girl heard the voice, she suddenly stopped talking, and she shrank back while hugging her knees, turned her head away and said nothing.

Seeing that the little girl didn't answer, Wen Xing asked another question: "Where's your family?"

One sentence seemed to hit the little girl's heartache, and the tears that were finally held back rolled down like broken beads.

"Woo... Father... Mother, they were killed by bad guys... An An, An An has no family anymore... Woo..."

The girl seemed to be tired, her voice was hoarse, and she didn't have the strength to cry heart-piercingly.

Fei Qing couldn't see this kind of scene the most. He rubbed his hair and said, "Don't cry, it's so ugly."

Unexpectedly, the girl cried even more when she heard the words, Fei Qing hurriedly let go of her hands and continued in a daze: "I didn't mean that...ah, forget it, Wen Xing, go."

Wen Xing stood aside with a frown, as if he didn't hear it.

He stared at the scar-like mark on the girl's dirty face, feeling so familiar inexplicably.

as if he saw somewhere

——The shadow guard that Fei Qing gave him in his previous life!

Wen Xing suddenly widened his eyes.He remembered that in his previous life, when he was full of hair, he had given him a shadow guard, saying that he was worried about what might happen to him in the palace.

Later, because that shadow guard was really good at hiding, Wen Xing gradually forgot about her existence.Until one time, he accompanied Xie Yi to the sacrificial place and encountered an assassin on the way, and the shadow guard saved their lives.

It was also during that assassination incident that Wen Xing accidentally saw a scar on the shadow guard's face.The things seen at the moment of life and death are often easily remembered, after that, Wen Xing can't forget that scar.

Later, when he heard that Fei Qing had provoked someone, Wen Xing sent the shadow guard back to Fei Qing's side, and he never saw him again.

"I said Wen Xing, why are you distracted again?" Fei Qing slapped Wen Xing on the back of the head, but there was almost no strength when it fell.

Wen Xing quickly came back to his senses, looked at the sobbing and still crying girl, and said, "It's a pity for a little girl, why don't you take her back. Being a maid is better than living on the streets, right?"

Fei Qing frowned and said, "You know my father's temper. If I take a girl back out of nowhere, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death by him. Why don't you let her go where you are? It's just right for Yun I want to take care of it."

Wen Xing, Fei Qing's father, had indeed experienced his temper. In his previous life, Fei Qing should have taken the girl back with all his might because he had no choice but to be ruthless.

Wen Xing didn't force it, nodded, squatted down and said to the girl: "It's not an option for you to wander around alone, would you like to go back home with me?"

The girl seemed to be only five years old, her mind was pure and she didn't understand good and evil, she didn't think too much when she heard Wen Xing's words, she blinked, and asked pitifully, "Yes, is it okay?"

"Of course." Wen Xing frowned and smiled softly.At the same time, he stretched out a hand and placed it in front of the girl.

The girl shrank back subconsciously, and after hesitating for a while, she gently put her hand on it.

Wen Xing took advantage of the situation and pulled the little girl up, and only let her go after she stood firmly.

He smiled and said, "Let's go?"

The girl nodded, and softly returned a nasal sound.

"Sure, brother." Fei Qing put a hand on Wen Xing's shoulder, and said to the girl with a smile, "It's lucky that you met us, otherwise something might happen to you."

The girl thought it was Fei Qing who wanted him to be grateful, thought for a while, and said, "Tang An is willing to go through fire and water for his benefactor in the future."

The girl who called herself Tang An raised her face, the scars smeared black with plaster lay across her face, but she didn't look ugly.

Wen Xing patted Tang An on the head, but did not speak.

When I hurried back to the house, I had already missed the time for dinner.

Before Wen Xing reached his yard, he heard Yun Nian yelling from a distance: "Second Young Master, you are back!"

Immediately afterwards, Yun Nian couldn't wait to run up to Wen Xing, and said worriedly, "Why did you come back so late? Did the prince make things difficult for you?"

Wen Xing smiled reassuringly, pulled out Tang An who was hiding behind, and replied, "No, I picked up a child on the road. Her family has passed away, so she brought it back because she looked so pitiful."

Yun Nian was also born as an orphan. Seeing Tang An in a mess, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, but when he remembered that Wen Xing hadn't had time to eat, he hurriedly urged: "Second Young Master, go back to your room to eat, or you won't be able to eat when it gets cold later." It's delicious. Yun Nian will ask the maid to take the child to take a bath later."

Wen Xing nodded, agreed to Yun Nian's arrangement, handed Tang An over to Yun Nian, and went back to his room for dinner.

Perhaps Tang An hadn't cleaned it for too long, and half an hour had passed by the time Yun Nian brought Tang An back.

The mud on Tang An's body was wiped clean, and he put on the old clothes that he found out somewhere, and put them loosely on his body, so he could see people anyway.

Wen Xing put down the book in his hand, looked at Tang An, and commented: "Too thin."

"I don't know how long I've been wandering." Yun Nian nodded in agreement, "I just let her eat something to fill her stomach."

Wen Xing nodded approvingly, then looked at Tang An, and said, "You are still young, so stay with Yun Nian first? I'll find someone to make you some clothes that fit you tomorrow."

Tang An should have been influenced by a good family education for a while, so he said "yes" obediently.

It was almost time to make an appointment to teach Yun Nian, Wen Xing asked the maid to take her down to settle down, and then he told Yun Nian what the Taifu taught her one by one.

In the next few days Wen Xing was basically going back and forth between the imperial palace and General Wen's mansion, honestly being a companion during the day, and teaching Xi Yunnian when he came back at night.

It’s just that every lunch break, I will see all kinds of vegetable bugs in my meal, which really makes Wen Xing feel a little unbearable-at least I should change the way, day after day Xie Lian does not bother Wen Xing It's annoying.

After repeating this for eight days, Wen Xing finally couldn't help but went to Xie Lian to have a heart-to-heart talk alone during a lunch break.

"What's your dissatisfaction with the minister, His Highness the Second Prince?" Wen Xing smiled kindly, trying to make himself appear calmer.

Xie Lian folded his arms around his chest and snorted coldly, and said in a strange way: "You are the emperor's brother, what dissatisfaction can I have?"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Xing knew that Xie Lian thought he was stealing Xie Yi's attention from him.In fact, these few days he and Xie Yi have been indifferent to each other, and there is not much interaction between them.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince may have misunderstood something." Wen Xing tried to explain to him, "This minister is only serving as the prince's companion to read, and His Royal Highness has a noble status. How can such a small person like this minister be able to fall into His Highness' eyes? So don't worry, Your Highness." .”

Xie Lian sneered and said: "Do you think I'm stupid? Brother Huang always listens to what my father says, but because of you, he went out of the palace twice. If I didn't happen to see him when I was looking for Brother Huang, I really don't know what the emperor said. Brother actually made such a good friend."

Wen Xing himself did not expect Xie Yi to go out of the palace, so he argued: "I am also very surprised by this matter."

The angry Xie Lian would not believe Wen Xing's words, so he simply issued a letter of war to him: "Aren't you the son of the Wen family? Then come and fight with me. If you can win me, I will win you!" forgive you!"

Wen Xing suffered a headache from this miraculous development, and said with a wry smile: "Second Highness, I don't know how to fight..."

Before the words could finish, Xie Lian threw a dagger that he used for riding and archery in the afternoon.In order to avoid accidental injury, Wen Xing quickly caught it.

"How could the son of a general not know martial arts?" Xie Lian questioned Wen Xing's reasons reasonably, "I can promise that even if you hurt me in today's fight, I will not hold you accountable."

Having said all this, Wen Xing can only bite the bullet and fight no matter what.

The only blame is Xie Yi's messy palace.

Fortunately, Fei Qing also likes to whisper these things in his ear at ordinary times, and occasionally he will watch his father or elder brother practice swords, he only hopes that he will not lose face too thoroughly later.

He let out a breath, held the dagger according to his impression, and adjusted his posture.

Seeing that he seemed to be ready, Xie Lian kicked off his left foot and walked straight towards Wen Xing.

In fact, Wen Xing, who was not prepared for anything, reflexively dodged to the left, barely avoiding the blow.

Xie Lian quickly reacted, stopped with one foot, turned his right wrist, and quickly changed direction.

The sun shone directly on the blade of Xie Lian's dagger, and the white light reflected by his rotation happened to flash onto Wen Xing.

He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes.

The short sword that was just aimed at Wen Xing's ear was disturbed by this accident, and it stabbed straight at his arm-if it really pierced, it would definitely leave a deep gash!

Xie Lian secretly thought it was bad, but it was too late to stop.

"Wen Xing!"

"Second Highness!"
